LYRICS

Ω ΠΑΛΛΑΣ ΑΘΗΝΑ, ΓΛΑΥΚΩΠΙΣ ΚΟΡΗ,
ΕΚ ΚΟΡΥΦΗΣ ΔΙΟΣ ΕΔΡΑΜΕΣ ΩΣ ΦΩΣ.
ΑΙΓΙΔΑ ΣΕΙΟΥΣΑ, ΦΡΟΝΗΣΙΝ ΦΕΡΕΙΣ,
ΕΝ ΠΟΛΕΜΟΙΣ ΣΤΑΘΕΡΗ, ΕΝ ΒΟΥΛΑΙΣ ΣΟΦΗ.

ΧΑΛΚΟΣ ΒΟΑ, ΔΟΡΑ ΣΠΑΡΑΣΣΕΙ ΓΗΝ,
ΣΥ ΔΕ ΧΑΛΙΝΟΝ ΒΑΛΛΕΙΣ ΕΙΣ ΜΑΝΙΑΝ.
ΟΥ ΚΡΑΥΓΗ, ΑΛΛΑ ΝΟΥΣ ΝΙΚΑ ΜΑΧΗΝ,
ΚΑΙ ΗΣΥΧΟΣ ΝΟΥΣ ΚΟΠΤΕΙ ΣΙΔΗΡΟΝ.


ΔΙΔΑΣΚΕΙΣ ΧΕΙΡΑ ΚΑΙ ΛΟΓΟΝ ΑΜΑ,
ΤΕΧΝΗΝ ΥΦΑΙΝΕΙΣ ΜΕ ΜΟΙΡΑΝ ΒΑΡΕΙΑΝ.
ΟΥΚ ΑΡΗΣ ΜΟΝΟΣ ΣΤΕΦΑΝΟΥΤΑΙ ΑΙΜΑ,
ΣΥ ΔΕ ΝΙΚΗΝ ΔΙΔΩΣ ΑΝΕΥ ΤΥΡΑΝΝΙΑΣ.


ΑΘΗΝΑ, ΠΑΛΛΑΣ, ΦΥΛΑΞ ΠΟΛΕΩΝ,
ΣΚΙΑ ΣΟΥ ΠΕΦΤΕΙ ΕΠΙ ΤΕΙΧΕΑ ΨΗΛΑ.
ΓΛΑΥΚΩΠΙΣ ΦΕΓΓΟΣ ΜΕΣ ΑΠΟ ΚΑΠΝΟΝ,
ΝΙΚΗ ΓΕΝΝΑΤΑΙ ΕΚ ΣΟΦΙΑΣ, ΟΥ ΣΦΑΓΗΣ.

ΑΘΗΝΑ, ΜΗΤΗΡ ΛΟΓΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΔΟΡΑΤΟΣ,
ΗΓΕΜΟΝΕΥΕ ΨΥΧΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΧΕΙΡΑΣ.
ΕΝ ΣΚΟΤΩ ΓΙΝΟΥ ΣΗΜΑΙΑ ΦΩΤΟΣ,
ΚΑΙ ΟΡΚΟΣ ΑΙΩΝΙΟΣ ΕΝ ΚΑΡΔΙΑΙΣ.


ΗΛΘΕΣ ΠΟΤΕ ΤΡΩΕΣΣΙ ΔΟΛΩ ΚΑΙ ΝΟΩ,
ΜΟΡΦΗΝ ΑΛΛΑΞΑΣ ΩΣ ΑΝΕΜΟΣ.
ΟΔΥΣΣΕΙ ΜΥΣΤΙΝ ΕΔΩΚΑΣ ΟΔΟΝ,
ΚΑΙ ΛΟΧΟΝ ΕΚΡΥΨΑΣ ΕΝ ΔΟΥΡΕΙ ΙΠΠΩ.

ΟΥ ΠΑΝΤΑ ΙΣΧΥΣ ΦΕΡΕΙ ΣΩΤΗΡΙΑΝ,
ΟΥΔΕ ΘΥΜΟΣ ΤΕΡΠΕΙ ΤΕΛΟΣ.
ΣΥ ΔΕ ΜΕΤΡΑΣ ΒΗΜΑ ΚΑΙ ΚΑΙΡΟΝ,
ΚΑΙ Η ΩΡΑ ΚΥΠΤΕΙ ΕΜΠΡΟΣΘΕΝ ΣΟΥ.


ΑΚΟΥΣΟΝ, ΘΕΑ, ΕΝ ΑΙΜΑΤΙ ΩΔΗΝ,
ΣΥΜΦΩΝΙΑ ΧΑΛΚΟΥ ΚΑΙ ΧΟΡΩΔΙΑΣ.
ΕΝ ΚΡΑΔΑΣΜΩ ΤΥΜΠΑΝΩΝ ΣΕ ΚΑΛΟΥΜΕΝ,
ΝΑ ΔΕΣΗΣ ΟΡΓΗΝ ΜΕ ΑΛΥΣΙΝ ΛΟΓΟΥ.


ΑΘΗΝΑ, ΠΑΛΛΑΣ, ΦΥΛΑΞ ΠΟΛΕΩΝ,
ΣΚΙΑ ΣΟΥ ΠΕΦΤΕΙ ΕΠΙ ΤΕΙΧΕΑ ΨΗΛΑ.
ΓΛΑΥΚΩΠΙΣ ΦΕΓΓΟΣ ΜΕΣ ΑΠΟ ΚΑΠΝΟΝ,
ΝΙΚΗ ΓΕΝΝΑΤΑΙ ΕΚ ΣΟΦΙΑΣ, ΟΥ ΣΦΑΓΗΣ.


ΜΕΝΕ ΜΕΘ ΗΜΩΝ, ΘΕΑ ΑΚΑΜΑΤΕ,
ΩΣ ΑΣΠΙΣ ΝΟΟΣ ΕΝ ΚΑΙΡΩ ΧΑΛΕΠΩ.
ΟΣΟΝ Ο ΚΟΣΜΟΣ ΔΙΧΑΖΕΤΑΙ,
ΤΟΣΟΝ ΣΕ ΔΕΕΤΑΙ, ΑΘΗΝΑ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

O Pallas Athena, bright-eyed maiden,
From the summit of Zeus you raced like light.
Shaking your aegis, you bring wisdom,
Steadfast in war, wise in counsel.

Bronze roars, spear rends the earth,
But you strike the reins into frenzy.
Not by shouting, but by mind you conquer battle,
And the calm mind cuts through iron.

You teach hand and speech together,
Weaving skill with a heavy fate.
Not Ares alone is crowned with blood,
You grant victory without tyranny.

Athena, Pallas, guardian of cities,
Your shadow falls upon high walls.
Bright-eyed light shines through the smoke,
Victory is born from wisdom, not slaughter.

Athena, mother of speech and spear,
Guide souls and hands.
In darkness become a banner of light,
And an eternal oath in hearts.

You once came to the Trojans with cunning and mind,
Changing your form like the wind.
To Odysseus you gave secret paths,
And hid the troop in the wooden horse.

Strength alone does not bring salvation,
Nor does anger bring fulfillment.
But you measure step and season,
And the hour bows before you.

Hear, goddess, the song in blood,
A harmony of bronze and chorus.
In the trembling of drums we call you,
To bind rage with the chain of reason.

Athena, Pallas, guardian of cities,
Your shadow falls upon high walls.
Bright-eyed light shines through the smoke,
Victory is born from wisdom, not slaughter.

Remain with us, tireless goddess,
Like a shield of mind in a harsh time.
As long as the world is divided,
So much it calls to you, Athena.
